The obvious solution is to see that you include the file just once.

Another work around is to use c/c++ like define checks:

<?php
if(!defined('__MYPHPFILENAME'))
{
// define the value, so next include won't come in here
define('__MYPHPFILENAME', true);

function first_function_of_yours() {
// your code here
}

function second_function_of_yours() {
// your code here
}

}
?>

or you could do for each function:

if(!function_exists('first_function_of_yours')) {
function first_function_of_yours() {
// your code here
}

}

and you have to see if values are defined before you define those (if
you use global values).

If you really want to do it the right way, just see to just include the
file once, no matter if it's the original file or a symlink.
